Old Guides. Men over eighteen years of age, of good character, who are willing to lead, and, being approved by the Supreme Council of Guidance, are enrolled as Old Guides.
Medicine Men or Shamans. Men of twenty-one years of age, of good character, who are willing to lead and are further qualified in having taken the degrees of Camper, Camp Cook, Camp Doctor, and Gleeman. In Council each has two votes, whereas the Old Guides and the Officers have but one each.
SIGNS
The watchword is “Blue Sky”; for under the blue sky, in the sunlight, we seek to live our lives; and our thoughts are of “Blue Sky”, for that means “cheer”, and when there are clouds we know that the blue sky is ever behind them and will come again.
The Totem, or Symbol, is the white shield, with horns of blue. The horns are given to fight, and the shield to ward off. In these we symbolize that we are ready for all manner of trial.
The War Cry is “How Kola, How Kola, How Kola, Shunka Maneetu, Ya-hoo-ooo.” (“Hail Brother! Hail Brother! Hail Brother! the Medicine Wolf is howling.”)
The Sign is the closed hand held up, with little finger and thumb out as horns; and raising the hand, so held, to the head, and down, is both a courteous salute and a sign that we are of the Brotherhood. Some also in salute add the word “How” or “Ho”.
THE LAWS
The laws for the whole Brotherhood (and for the leaders as far as possible) are:
1. Obey. Obedience is the Brave's first duty.
2. Be brave. Courage is the Brave's highest gift.
